Would they have kept the hyrdopneumatic suspension?  I always felt that was the most unusual feature of the Citroens.

Depends if they wanted to emphasise the Citroen bit or the Porsche bit.

The Citroen suspension gave a superb ride (it was SO good that Rolls Royce used it on the original Silver Shadows!) but wasn't the world's best handling package, whereas the Porsche suspension was the opposite.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

An excellent bit of spoof box art here from Andrew Glazebook. In case you're wondering, HMS Camden Lock is the ship from the BBC comedy series Hyperdrive :

It looks like a regular anti-radiation white to me..
BTW, it looks rather like a Mazinger's suppository, doesn't it?

Damn! Beat me to it!  ;D

I was going to say it's regulation BS4576372305 Anti-Supernova White (about as effective against supernovas as anti-flash white was against A-bombs....)

I don't want one and Hyperdrive was appallingly bad.

I'd rather have one of these - one for those with the Hobbycraft or Kitech kit?



Now imagine that scheme on this machine:

your requset is my command, i have the kitech kit, and was looking to make it up as the red wolf (airwolf2) but now i must say this looks a lot more like something i would like to build

If I were you, I'd do the RN Bell 222 - the Kitech copies of the AMT kit will have all the same flaws, namely the turbothruster fairings and the height of the rotor head assembly being too tall.  I'd all sand off all the surface detail as it's way too heavy, especially the lips around the windows.

Given that the Kitech kit is still available, you could do Airwolf herself later, but really the current Aoshima kit is far superior.
